There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. The question is, that motion S6M-19436, in the name of Martin Whitfield, on behalf of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee, on strengthening committees’ effectiveness, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament notes and welcomes the conclusions and recommendations in the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s 4th Report, 2025 (Session 6), Strengthening committees’ effectiveness (SP Paper 878); further notes that the Committee wishes to gauge the views of other Members on the introduction of a procedure for the election of committee conveners by the Parliament, and agrees to consider a proposed rule change for the election of committee conveners based on the procedure set out in annexe B to the report.
That concludes decision time.
